THE SETTING
This idyllic french countryside region offers the perfect backdrop to explore what it takes to physically and mentally supercharge the second half of your life. You will reside in an alluring and beautifully restored 16th century Cognac estate perched atop four private acres of rolling hills. Fields of sunflowers and grapevines surround the property making it a magnificently picturesque and tranquil setting.
THE EXPERIENCE
Step away the grind of everyday life and escape to the picturesque french countryside! For 8 days/7 nights, you will be coached through a fun and challenging week of exercise, strength training, yoga, sports activities, meditation and wellness workshops. All fitness levels welcome and encouraged.
You will enjoy three delicious and healthy meals each day lovingly prepared by our incredible French chef using locally sourced ingredients.
Your journey wouldn't be complete without time for rest and relaxation. Plan for a great deal of free time to take a dip in the heated pool, lounge with good book, take a stroll around the property's four acres of rolling and wooded hills, swim the local lake or grab a bike to explore local villages.
